The systematic evaluation of barley accessions in the USDA-ARS National Small
Grains Collection (NSGC) and other elite germplasm is coordinated by National
Small Grains Germplasm Research Facility (NSGGRF) staff at Aberdeen.
Data obtained from evaluations of NSGC germplasm are entered in the Germplasm
Resources Information Network (GRIN) system by the NSGGRF staff in cooperation
with the ARS National Germplasm Resources Laboratory, Beltsville, Maryland.
Data available on GRIN for barley are summarized below.
